Re: Whats your GS setup like?

[dcross1@nospam.home.com (David Cross)]

I once had a REALLY good Apple //gs, but I sold it nearly 2 years ago, and I 
found out the hard drive in it since crashed, but this was what it was:

ROM 3 //gs
5.125 megs RAM (4 meg memory expansion card)
AppleColor RGB monitor
85 meg HD from Quality Computers (A LOT got added to my already extensive 
software collection because of the free stuff thrown in on this drive)

S1: None
S2: None
S3: Zip GS, 8 MHz
S4: None
S5: None
S6: None
S7: Apple High-Speed SCSI card

At tbe time, I had a US Robotics Sportster 14.4k on this w/ a hardware 
handshaking cable.

My current //gs setup:

None of the slots have any cards in them, except the memory expansion slot.

It's a ROM 01 with the Apple memory expansion card, 256K is on that card so I 
have 512K total RAM. (Hey, I bought it for $25 off a guy who had no idea what a 
great system he was dumping! ;) ) Also it came with an Apple Color Composite 
Monitor. So far this system is acting as a very glorified Apple //e, which is 
fine with me as I'm still rediscovering the fun of using an Apple again. :)

Disk Drives:
1 3.5" FDHD drive (No controller at present)
2 5.25" Platinum Apple drives

I've got my US Robotics Courier Dual Standard (which has been soft-upgraded to 
V.90) on this machine w/ a hardware handshaking cable.

Planned upgrades:

AppleColor RGB monitor
SuperDrive controller
Zip GS (at least 8 MHz)
Extra RAM
(possibly) a ROM 3 motherboard

My Apple ][+ is a pretty "bare-bones" deal, with a language card in slot 0, two 
Disk II drives (and a controller in slot 6), and a SSC in slot 2 ready to roll 
for the 2400 baud modem I got for it. :) There's an ordinary green-screen 
Monitor /// for this.
